Mood check-in: how are you feeling?
A 30-second check-in with Otti. Pick how you feel, find the words for it and get three tiny next steps. No account, and nothing is saved.
How are you feeling right now?
No right answer. Go with your gut.
Why check in with your mood?
Feelings are easier to handle when you can name them. “I feel bad” is a fog; “I feel tired and a bit lonely” points toward what might help, like an early night or a message to a friend. A short daily check-in also helps you notice patterns over time, like how sleep, movement or certain people affect how you feel.
Tips for an honest check-in
- Go with your first instinct. There’s no wrong answer.
- It’s normal to feel two things at once, like tired and hopeful.
- “Okay” is a perfectly good answer. Not every day needs to be great.
- Pick one tiny next step, not all three.
If your thoughts are racing, try breathing with Otti for a minute first, or write one line with the journal prompt generator.
In the Otti app, your daily check-in lives in the Journal, so you can see your week at a glance, and your otter notices how you feel.
Questions people ask
What is a mood check-in?
A quick pause to notice how you’re feeling and put a word to it. It takes about 30 seconds and can help you choose what you need next.
Is anything I pick saved?
No. The check-in runs in your browser and nothing is stored or sent anywhere. If you want to see your moods over time, the Otti app keeps a private mood journal.
How often should I check in with myself?
Once a day is a good rhythm for many people, often in the evening. You can also check in any time a feeling seems big or confusing.
What if I feel rough most days?
Please talk to someone you trust and consider seeing a doctor or mental health professional. Low mood that lasts for weeks deserves real support, and you deserve to feel better.
